One Sentence Plot Summary: As a nurse cares for a burn patient at the close of WWII, we learn of the patient's past.

Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Naveen Andrews, Colin Firth, Jürgen Prochnow

Best of: Some beautiful desert cinematography.

Worst of: Most of the characters are thoroughly unlikable and I found myself rooting against the central love affair.

Notable: The original cut was 4 hours and 10 minutes long. The final cut only felt that long.

Also nominated: Fargo.
